Silver Earrings and You

Silver earrings are a lovely fashion accessory that can rival the brilliance of white gold stud earrings. They can be worn with any color, and any style of clothing from plain to formal. Silver earrings have been enjoyed for centuries, and they will continue to be worn by people for man years to come. They can be timeless and classic, or modern and trendy.

The first documented use of widespread wearing of silver earrings was in 200 A.D. The Ancient Greeks were known for combining silver with precious stones and pearls and other valuable baubles, originating a look unique to the wearer. Originally earrings were intended and worn by both sexes: male and female. When earrings came on the scene, they adorned the ear of both men and women.

Many people look at earrings and see nothing more than something shiny for a woman to wear. Many men also enjoy wearing earrings to improve their appearance, also; they are not just for women. The belief that only women should wear earrings is slowly being replaced by a growing acceptance of men wearing earrings, also. We have come full circle to the early introduction of silver earrings when both genders could openly enjoy wearing them.
